OSHA Safety Training For All Minnesota Industries Statewide

Minnesota, the 32nd state in the union, has its name derived from the Dakota Indian word for “clear blue water”. Indeed, the state is informally referred to as the “Land of 10,000 lakes”. Almost 60% of the state’s residents live in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area. Early in its history, Minnesota was a primary producer of raw materials, but over time this has evolved into a general economy of finished products and services. Early economic revenue came in the form of fur trading and agriculture. Agriculture now makes up only 1% of the total domestic product, but it is a significant producer ranking 6th in the nation of products sold. Sugar beets, sweet corn, green peas, soybeans and turkeys are all major exports. For over a century, Minnesota was a large provider of iron ore for the world, and still remains a significant source of soft-ore mining. Forestry is another industry that flourishes including logging and pulpwood. More recent history has seen the growth of the manufacturing sector including both technology and biomedical firms. Older food processors and heavy industry still maintain a large presence in the state’s economy

Minnesota has developed it’s own OSHA State Plan in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Labor. The Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MNOSHA) is administered by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry whose main office is in St. Paul. You can view the OSHA State Plan for Minnesota here. Minnesota OSHA Safety Training programs are consistent with OSHA regulations and compliance guidelines and directives. Workers are governed by Minnesota safety laws for education and training purposes. Our OSHA Outreach Training programs for Construction and General Industry are designed to comply with all OSHA criteria and are accepted in all 50 states, including Minnesota.

Online or On-site OSHA Safety Training Available for Minnesota Workers

Minnesota OSHA Safety Training Programs center around OSHA’s key major targets for safety prevention and mitigation. The programs are centered around a wide range of education and training supported by the Minnesota Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MNOSHA). The state plan supports most all OSHA standards, but has specific deviations in the following safety areas:

Toxic Chemical Handling and Exposure

Agriculture

Repetitive Motion Injuries

Heat Exposure

Noise Exposure

MNOSHA Directives, like those of Federal OSHA, provide for both enforcement and compliance regulations. State compliance officers inspect workplaces for hazardous conditions and issue citations where violations of MNOSHA regulations are found.
